The purpose of L3PT is to fill this niche in the market. By adjusting the distance between a projector and a flat surface, one has the capability to set up the L3PT to project up to a thirty inch screen. The L3PT provides the user with the option of projecting the image onto a wall or table. By utilizing a calibration setting, the user can calibrate the projected screen size for seamless interaction with the PC.  IR Camera  IR longpass filtered  30 fps frame rate  Calibration  Compensates for the size of the projected screen  Aligns coordinates between camera and projector  Accounts for projector skew  Image Processing  Uses OpenCV libraries  Filters RGB values  Detects center coordinates of blobs  Multitouch Driver  Sends single and multitouch events to Ubuntu

Speed of Image Processing IR Filter Characteristics Budget Design Challenges IR Longpass filter Filters visible light Laser pointers operate at 532 nm 4 % filter transmission percent Simplifies image processing for blob detection  Multitouch Driver Switched from Windows 7 to Ubuntu Much more extensive support and documentation  Image Processing Originally used algorithms we designed Changed to using OpenCV libraries Better performance and stability  Input Device Selection Originally used IR LED pens Moved to using green laser pointers More comfortable and efficient design for the user Laser pointer wavelength falls in side lobe of filter response
